Introduction
This chapter offers hints for automatic color control and fine-tuning
color output, discusses color matching, and lists the printer-resident
fonts.
Automatic Color Control
As with any form of color reproduction, many variables can
contribute to the final appearance of color laser prints. To take the
guesswork out of optimizing color output, QMS developed
Q
COLOR
, which dynamically configures the magicolor for the best
output quality based on the contents of the document (text, line art,
photographs, or scans) and the media it will be printed on. Q
COLOR
technology is accessed through our Windows and Macintosh
driver.
Enabling Q
COLOR
for Windows
To use Q
COLOR
for Windows, follow the instructions in “Installing
the Windows 3.1 Driver” in chapter 3, “Connecting the Printer.”
After the QMS Windows driver is installed, do the following to
optimize color printing:
1. Open the Printers dialog box.
You can do this either from the Windows Control Panel or by
choosing Print Setup from your application’s File menu.
2. In the Printers dialog box, choose the Setup button.
3. In the PostScript Printer dialog box, choose the magicolor or
the magicolor Plus printer in the Printers drop-down list.
4. Choose the Color Setup button.
